I have it around somewhere. I'll do my best to pass it on to those interested.

If this is a ritual PLEASE be careful who you are sending it to. There are plenty of perps on Greekchat and we don't need Phi Mu info being passed around.

If you are truly interested, contact your chapter president and I'm sure she can get the info on it. PLEASE NEVERRRRR EVERRRR pass around ritual information on the web. You never know who you are dealing with!

It is not in the ritual book. It is something you'd probably do at a wedding. Do you really think Mary Mary and Martha (or any lady that was around between 1852-c.1950s would make something called "The Order of the Pink Garter" up?)

PM me with your EMAIL ADDRESS and I will send it to you privately.

There's a reason why she's sending it privately, and she's been a Phi Mu far longer than you. (lol sage sorry for the "far longer" part, I could probably say the same as well)

I'd love to hear about it too. My chapter got reinstated at the University of Missouri-Columbia in 2001. One of our members heard bits and pieces about it from her mom who is also a Phi Mu, but she wouldn't disclose too many details. I don't think her mom likes the boy much though, so if I could also have it sent to me, just for personal use, that would be fabulous.

Never fear! I assure you, the Order of the Pink Garter is NOT Phi Mu ritual. It's a wonderfully goofy ceremony that was made up to "initiate" husbands (and sometimes boyfriends) into their life with a Phi Mu--it doesn't reveal any of Phi Mu's Ritual at all.

The reason Pam was sending it out privately is probably because, even though it's NOT Ritual, it's not something the whole world needs to be able to get their hands on. Like our official signature, though, it's not critical that it be kept secret.

P.S. - Only our Pledging, Initiation, Closed Founders' Day, and Closed Memorial services are truly secret (and even then, Pledging isn't totally secret, but that's neither here nor there). The Open Founders' Day, Open Memorial, 3-D, and I *believe* Ribboning services are also found in our Ritual. The Mother's Pin ceremony is an official ceremony, but it is not found in our Ritual. (At least that's how I remember it, having been my chapter's Ritual Chair for 4 of my 5 years in college, five years ago.)

You are correct regarding Mother's Pinning.
